The book "Discovering the World with Baby Signs: Animals from the Zoo" from the Zwergensprache series offers a playful introduction to the world of sign language for the youngest children. It is aimed at children from 9 months old and promotes appreciative communication between adults and children. In this volume, readers accompany a monkey on a discovery tour of various zoo animals. With 20 age-appropriate selected signs based on German Sign Language, the content is vividly conveyed through rhymes and pictures. The peek-a-boo holes in the book spark children's curiosity and focus attention on the essential elements of the signs. Through simple gestures, children can actively participate, which fosters joy and self-confidence and strengthens the bond between parents and children. At the end of the book, there is additional information for parents and educators to further deepen the signs.
